Cons
"The documentation can be improved, this would have helped.""They could provide pricing models considering the requirements of various countries and organizations.""I wish the Disaster Recovery system could do more, like integrating irregularity features and combining VLP functionalities.""The cost is acceptable.""The solution covers specific versions of Windows and Linux, and it would be good if other Linux versions or some special appliances could work in the Acronis Disaster Recovery environment.""The product should improve compute points.""In the future, I would like to see cross-platform support.""Acronis Disaster Recovery should provide software information wherein I can change my setup to collect more information."

More Acronis Disaster Recovery Cons →

"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on.""Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't.""The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself.""If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear.""The scalability of the solution is limited.""It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location.""Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful.""The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
